Mid travel suspension suspension recommendations?

Looking for direction on a mid travel IFS setup.
With as much money as I've invested, and upgrades coming this spring I would like to get more out of my suspension.
A couple additional inches of up travel could go a long ways.
As of now it's a 2004 DC, arb bumber w/ winch, all pro sliders. Sitting on 33s.
Shell, once I find a short box and RTT.
Current fabtech lift has gotta go.. need some direction.

 

Location?
Do you wanna take care of uniballs for the rest of your life? If so something like total chaos for Ucas.

Or jba or light racing if you want just normal stuff.


For shocks you can look at kings, icon, Fox, or another I can’t remember right now.

 

What are your goals?

The short of it is that to get to mid-travel, at minimum you'll need:

• Aftermarket UCAs (your choices are Uniball or Ball Joint - Camburg, Total Chaos, JBA, SPC, etc)
• FRONT: Coilovers (King, Fox, Icon, ADS, Radflo, etc)
• REAR: correct travel shocks or even better - extended travel to take advantage of the 10" travel of our leaf springs on the 1st gens. Same brands as front.

This does not mention any and all small parts, relocation mounts for rear shocks, longer brake lines, etc.

You have a lot more research to do. Start here. https://adventuretaco.com/category/build-2000-tacoma/

 

If you're occasionally going on longer road trips where you do some off road but mostly pavement, I highly recommend just the "boring" Old Man Emu regular travel suspension. I've got about 25k miles on mine so far and it has not faded while driving tens of miles @ 60+ mph on washboard in Death Valley and handles the inconsistent weight of unloaded "daily driving" and loaded trips.

 

I'm located in the black hills, near rapid city SD.
As for use, this will be full on adventure rig for hunting, camping and mountain biking road trips.
It is likely I'll be able to get an elk tag yearly between WY and CO and always some form of deer or antelope in state.
I've already taken my truck through an "easier" rock crawling trail locally and it did pretty well, but not well enough to be confident. 6" lift with stock suspension travel, 33s.
The goal - be able to go through some nasty rocky stuff if the situation demands it. Not huge articulation / solid axle worthy, but respectable for an overland rig.
Full on adventure / overland style truck. I like my 33s, I think they're very capable and perfect for anything around here. I am installing a front arb locker and rebuilding front diff. Currently it has 6" fabtech lift. Love the height, could drop an inch or two but I need more out of it.
